Quality and Taste of Food
Pros:
"We ordered a toastie and the brisket and it was some of the best food we’ve had."
"Had a Ham and Cheese toastie on sourdough with the relish which was out of this world."
"Having sampled most of the treats on offer we can safely say that everything baked at The Street Bakeshop is delicious."
"The selection of breads and pastries is impressive."
"I tried the goat's cheese, pesto and roast veggies... the house pickled veggies were the best side to it."
"Once the food from this bakery it's very easy to understand why it's an award-winning bakery."
"I did came this area for business trip. I am almond croissant lover. Just i want to say maaan this almond croissant is best which is i eat in my life !!!!
"The brisket rolls are amazing and highly sought after, get in there quick."
Cons:
"Overpriced bone dry brisket. Used to come from afar for their succulent briskets."
"The cake I bought tasted so plastic 🤢 not sure what icing have they started to use now?"
"I have noticed some items (eg.cinnamon buns) have decreased in size."
"I almost never gives 5* rating - but this place more than deserves it...except for the hot chocolate."
"Nice bread, very crisp. Filling was bland, no flavour to the pork, didn't taste like there was any seasoning or sauce on it."
"Some creative flavours in cakes too, but I have found these hit and miss."
"They didnt bother to tell us there was a wait 35 minutes for breakfast to be served while they cooked a new batch of sausages."
"Very expensive and poor selection when I came yes it was very busy and FairPlay but this won’t be for everyone."

"This time our drinks were forgotten despite us taking it in turns to wait at the drinks station."
"Lovely quality on site bakery fresh bread and rolls and patisserie fresh tea and coffee. Polite and friendly atmosphere and staff. Shame no fruit scones but heyho they can't do everything."
"The food is delicious and coffee is far better than any chains around Basingstoke. First time I went in was the day before lockdown 2 and the staff were very professional."
"The absolute best bakery in Basingstoke. The cakes and pastries are just phenomenal. It’s usually very busy but they fly through getting the orders ready to go so you never wait long."

"Not great. Sat outside in the bakery, so was told we had to have takeaway plates."
Value for Money
Pros:
"My only criticisms would be that the price was a bit high but you get what you pay for!!"
"Fantastic place worth detouring for. Coffee is good with Baristas that know what they are doing. Food is amazing as well."
"Once the food from this bakery it's very easy to understand why it's an award-winning bakery. The products aren't cheap, but their cost reflects the quality of the ingredients."
"A stunning little independent bakery, coffee shop and cafe set in a picturesque village. The coffee is amazing and price wise, rivals that of your big chains."
"The brisket rolls are amazing and highly sought after, get in there quick. Popular pit stop for cyclists."
"While there's no accounting for taste, it's self evident why this bakery is so popular."
"The bread rolls, pastries are delicious. Some creative flavours in cakes too, but I have found these hit and miss. Thursday is doughnut day but be prepared to queue as they are very popular."
"So lucky to have so many new places to try in the area. Great coffee , Moon Roast, and the overwhelming Mocca Cinnamon Bun was delicious."
Cons:
"We didn't have time to wait while they cooked a new lot or risk it being heated up. Really expensive so expected something special but left hungry and disappointed."
"Great vibe, amazing bread and good coffee. One thing that could be improved upon is the quality of the breakfast bap sausage and bacon meat, it’s pretty poor and lacks flavour."
"So nice! £7 for a toastie is a bit annoying. I know inflation isn't great right now but come on!"
"No masks being worn by people queuing in the street. Causing mayhem with traffic and walkers. Cafe should be closed down."
"The food is delicious and coffee is far better than any chains around Basingstoke. First time I went in was the day before lockdown 2 and the staff were very professional."
"Food is great bit disappointed with the service and lack of service negligence priority was given to other customers behinds us who was in que just because of they were regular."
"An amazing range of baked goods (haven’t been able to try the famous cinnamon buns yet - but hoping to soon!) The brisket blaa with all the toppings is crazy good."
"A bit pricey and noisy inside, okay outside by the road and burnt out house opposite."
